Wayne's questions

I can only get results from:

ntpq -p localhost
or
ntpq -p 127.0.0.1

If, from the same server, I try it as either the external IP address or domain name then it times out with no response.

ntpq -p files.tickzoom.com
or
ntpq -p 50.57.65.92

Those both time out from the same machine.

I disabled iptables. So iptables -L shows:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

The goal, actually is to access ntpd from other machines. But they can't access that IP or DNS either even with firewall off.

At first I went round and round with iptables rules before disabling iptables and realizing I can't do this even with the firewall off.

Please clue my in to what's going on.

vsftpd on ubuntu after sudo apt-get install vsftpd Then did configuration as in the attached /etc/vsftpd.conf file. Anonymous ftp allows cd to the upload directly and allows put myfile.txt which gets created on the server but then the client hangs and never proceeds. The file on the server remains at 0 bytes.

Here's the folders and permissions:

root@support:/home/ftp# ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 00:00 .
root@support:/home/ftp# ls -ld pub
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 21 23:59 pub
root@support:/home/ftp# ls -ld pub/upload
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Jun 22 00:06 pub/upload
root@support:/home/ftp#

Here's the vsftpd.conf file:

root@support:/home/ftp# grep -v '#' /etc/vsftpd.conf
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
anon_upload_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
anon_root=/home/ftp/pub/
connect_from_port_20=YES
chown_uploads=YES
chown_username=ftp
nopriv_user=ftp
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

Here's a file example that attempted to upload:

root@support:/home/ftp/pub/upload# ls -l
total 0
-rw------- 1 ftp nogroup 0 Jun 22 00:06 build.out

This is the client attempting to upload...it is frozen at this point:

$ ftp 173.203.89.78
Connected to 173.203.89.78.

200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
150 Ok to send data.

EDIT: It turns out that the ftp clients work from other systems running Linux. The error messages above only occur using ftp on a Windows 7 host using the command line ftp.

In fact, on the same Windows 7 machine, if you put the address into Windows Explorer, it works. It can copy and paste files and they appear on the server correctly uploaded.

So this problem only occurs on the Windows 7 command line ftp. NOTE: I double-checked that the firewall is entirely disabled on this machine.

I have been using stunnel previous versions just fine. It didn't apparently have the feature of a certificate in SSL server mode. That's alright but not necessary for us as we're simply running a localhost server to tunnel to the remote server.

Anyway, I have read the FAQ tutorial and such related to this and tried everything. No mater what I do with the cert or key settings it still gives this same error here's the complete output....

And here is the stunnel.conf file contents:

cert = stunnel.pem
;key = stunnel.pem

; Disable support for insecure SSLv2 protocol

[FIXLIVE]

connect = 216.52.236.185:51581

Please not that stunnel came installed with an stunnel.pem file. I tried uncommenting the config line for the key. Also regenerated the key using openssh per instructions.

I tried using absolute path to the cert file.

Nothing makes any difference. Is this a defect in stunnel? Or am I doing something wrong?

The server has 16 gig of memory. We want to run as many VMs as possible on this server. They are used as automated testing "slaves" to a Jenkins VM which distributes testing jobs.

The VMs right now total 10.6 Gig of memory used in vSphere.

But vSphere reports 12.1 Gig of 16 Gig is used. This implies that vSphere itself is using 1.5 Gig.

So there is only 4 Gig remaining on the server.

Note that vCenter reports that each vm below is using less that it's full memory.

1. vCenter Server Appliance takes 4 Gig. 10% used.
2. Jenkins Appliance takes 500 Meg. 14% used.
3. Windows 7 x64 takes 2 gig. 15% used.
4. Windows 7 x64 takes 2 gig. 15% used.
5. Windows 7 x64 takes 2 gig. 9% used.

Questions: 1. Does 4 Gig remaining mean that we can only run 2 more of these 2 gig Windows vms?

2. Does the % used allow us to "over commit"? The machines rarely use more memory unless a memory leak in the software under test occurs.

3. What happens if we "over commit" and a machine does need more memory?

4. If we cannot over commit, does it make sense to power off the vCenter Server? It seems that since we only have one vSphere server, vCenter is overkill. We only really need it for "cloning" since vSphere client doesn't support cloning. So maybe power off most of the time is better.

5. Any other ideas or suggestions to allow running many more VMs?

We just got our vSphere 5.0 and vCenter Server 5.0 configuration working with several VMS.

These are the vms.

1. Jenkins appliance.
2. vCenter Server Appliance
3. Windows7x64
4. Windows7x64-1
5. Windows7x64-2

For some reason the Windows vms become unexpectedly suspended. To recover we simply power them back on it all is well until the next time. We found dcx some vmWare instructions to debug this via getting the log file from the vm. And here it is. But even with their hints..it's still unclear.

One important thing to notice in the log below is that this is only an portion of the file starting a few lines before where suspending started. So you can see the time stamp jumps 30 minutes because it ran fine for that long before it went suspended.

I installed pure-ftpd on Ubuntu 8.04 using

aptitude install pure-ftpd

What's the step to add users?

I'm new to pure-ftpd and PAM authentication, but I followed pure-ftpd documentation to do pure-pw useradd then restarted pure-ftpd but no dice.

It still says "authentication failed" when trying to connect with ftp client.

I verified that there is a /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.passwd entry for the user that was added.

So what's the missing piece of the puzzle?

For some reason my RedMine install never gets any log files.

Redmine is an open source project management system written with Ruby on Rails.

I'm a total newbie to Ruby or Rails.

Have searched the wiki, forums, tickets without any clue to this seemingly simply thing.

By the way, this was an upgrade from a previous version on this TurnKey Linux Application. I can see that the backup folder of the older version has a log file with lots of log messages.

But mine in /var/www/railsapp/log/production.log has only one line from several days ago announcing the the log is created.

Now, my real problem is some strangeness that started happening in the application but I feel that that A) See the logs, I might realized it was something I changed in my configuration (mucking with VMs and network setup) B) will have the logs to post in an issue to the redmine team.

Meanwhile, I can't even get anything to log. Is there a debug level to set?

Sincerely, Wayne

I have PostFix installed and working to send/receive email.

However, my requirement is for this MTA to only receive inbound email from gmail.

The background is that this server runs a product support system and only accepts email sent to [email protected] where myhost.com email is hosted by gmail.

So [email protected] is configured to forward to the local PostFix MTA that converts the emails into tickets in the product support system.

The PostFix MTA must completely refuse any email from any other IP addresses than gmail MTA servers. And, additionally, if possible, it must only accept incoming email from [email protected]

The product support server sits behind a linksys router. So port forwarding on port 25 in the router sends email to the local machine.

Is there a way to reject any communications except from gmail ip addresses?

Or, failing that, can PostFix be configured to only accept connections from gmail ip addresses?

Or, failing that, can PostFix be configured to reject email from any other ip addresses even if it does initially accept the connection?

Essentially we want outsource dealing with spam to gmail. Plus it's simpler to configure and monitor email received to [email protected] via the gmail website.

Please advise!
